Low-power stereo audio codec for portable and embedded audio
The Analog Devices SSM2603CPZ-REEL is a low-power stereo audio codec designed for portable audio applications. It integrates two ADCs and two DACs at 24-bit resolution, delivering a typical SNR of 90 dB on the ADC path and 100 dB on the DAC path — the spec that matters for clean line-level capture and playback in battery-powered gear. It is housed in a 28-lead WFQFN with exposed pad (5x5 mm LFCSP), a compact footprint suited for space-constrained PCBs in handheld recorders, VoIP headsets, and IoT voice-interface nodes.
Lifecycle and compliance — no obsolescence risk
It is ROHS3 compliant, so no exemption expiry concerns for EU-market builds. For production BOMs, this part is safe to qualify into new designs without near-term redesign risk.
